Abstract:
Describes the history of the León Pinelo family, one of the most important families of Crypto-Jews in Latin America. As early as the 15th century, members of the family held commercial and religious positions in America. In spite of the fact that they lived as Catholics, some members of the family had trouble with the Inquisition because of their Jewish origins. Traces the genealogy of the family, many of whom were burnt at the stake in "autos-da-fé".
